While my therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from multiple theories, the foundation for all of my work is based on systems theory. I believe our past and current relationships influence our behavior and interactions with others. We all play a role in our relationships with partners, family members, friends, coworkers, classmates. Our roles and those of others change over time and often old ways of functioning no longer work in new relationships. I will help you discover more effective ways of interacting with others to get your needs met and feel more supported by the important people in your life. I work with children and families, couples and adults.

I provide compassionate and common sense counseling to children, adults, couples, and families. I tailor treatment to each client, as counseling is not a one size fits all situation. The relationship between client and therapist is a priority, and should I not be a good fit for a client, I provide thoughtful referrals to help the client find the right match.

I am a Certified Hypnotherapist who also practices shamanic healing and soul journeying. Nurturing yet direct, I "see" beyond the material plane to uncover blockages and wounds so healing can occur quickly and naturally. I strengthen your connection to your personal sense of higher power for courage and guidance. I engage your own healing power to change unwanted behaviors, "positivize" thinking patterns, and reveal specific remedies for healing and moving forward. I have been a student of Tibetan Buddhism for 25 years and Native American shamanism for 15 years. I warmly invite you to begin the healing journey with my guidance. Hypnosis works directly with the subconscious mind, resulting in rapid change! I see clients in my home or travel to yours!
